351-10-146-00-009000

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. model 351-10-146-00-009000 is a standard spring-loaded pogo pin connector designed for board-to-board or cable-to-board applications. This component features 46 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) centerline spacing. The contacts are constructed from beryllium copper alloy and feature a gold plating finish to ensure reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. It utilizes a solder termination method for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards, providing a secure mechanical connection while maintaining low contact resistance for signal transmission.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Spring-loaded contact mechanism ensures continuous electrical connection despite minor misalignments or vibrations
• Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts provide durable conductivity and resistance to environmental degradation
• Through-hole solder termination allows for robust mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring flexible vertical spacing
• Test and measurement fixtures needing repeatable contact points
• Cable-to-board connections in compact electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact length and overall height requirements against your PCB stack-up design before ordering. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets your conductivity standards. Ensure the through-hole pad layout matches the 0.100 inch grid spacing precisely to guarantee proper solder joint formation and mechanical stability during operation.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a spring-loaded solution is required to accommodate vertical tolerance variations between mating connectors. Consider the operating temperature range and current carrying capacity of the beryllium copper contacts relative to your application's thermal and electrical loads. Evaluate the need for gold plating versus other finishes based on the expected cycle life and environmental exposure conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Mill-Max 351 series of standard spring-loaded pogo pins. The series offers various configurations in terms of contact count, length, and termination style to suit different interconnection needs. As a widely used component in the electronics industry, it provides a standardized solution for creating reliable, reusable electrical connections in dense packaging environments where rigid connectors might be impractical.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 46-position count, 2.54mm pitch, and spring-loaded mechanism. Verify that substitute parts maintain compatible contact lengths and termination styles to fit existing PCB footprints. Cross-reference specifications for current rating and operating temperature to ensure equivalent performance in the target application.
